A. Whenever any highway or road, or parts thereof, under the jurisdiction of this village, by reason of deterioration, rain, snow or other climatic conditions, will be seriously damaged or destroyed by the use of trucks or other commercial vehicles, the operation of said vehicles thereon shall be prohibited.
B. The chairman of the village road committee or the chief of police is hereby authorized to determine and designate the time and the highways or roads, or parts thereof, which shall be so seriously damaged or destroyed as above provided, and shall so advise the village board of trustees. The board of trustees, by resolution, may prohibit the operation of trucks or other commercial vehicles over and upon such roads or highways, or parts thereof, so designated; provided, that said prohibition shall not exceed ninety (90) days in any one calendar year.
C. Upon enacting such resolution, the board of trustees shall cause to be erected and maintained regulatory signs designating the provision of the resolution at each end of that portion of any highway or road, or parts thereof, affected thereby, and the resolution shall not be effective unless and until such signs are erected and maintained.
D. If the village president (or in his absence, the president pro tem) shall determine that any roads or highways, or parts thereof, might suffer serious damage prior to the time in which the board of trustees could meet for the purpose of taking remedial action as provided in subsections B and C of this section, then in such emergency the president (or in his absence, the president pro tem) may act alone in prohibiting the operation of trucks or other commercial vehicles over and upon such roads or highways, or parts thereof, and may direct the erection of regulatory signs at each end of such road or highway, or parts thereof, affected thereby.
E. The board of trustees, at its next regular meeting called after action taken by the president or president pro tem, as provided above, shall either confirm said action by resolution or extend said prohibition for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days or, by resolution, direct that the signs be removed and declare that no emergency exists.
